auspicious time has come

Chapter 121 Do What You Should Do
Hengyu was "abandoned" by Mrs. Xiao, so she had to go back home with Xiao Mu in the carriage.

Hearing the faint voices coming from inside the carriage, the attendant who was riding beside the carriage looked confused.

"Why, not used to it?" Yin Hai sat on the horse and asked with a smile.

The follower named Eleven nodded with a complicated expression, and said in a low voice: "What the general said today is almost as good as what he said in the past year..."

Yin Hai laughed "haha": "It's okay, you will get used to it in the future..."

As he said that, he looked up at the night sky, and said in a good mood: "The night is pretty good tonight."

Eleven was confused by what he heard, so he raised his head, only to see that it was already covered with dark clouds—what kind of night is this so good?
When he was about to look away, he saw a strange red light flashing not far ahead.

"Vice General Yin, the front seems to be..."

Before he could finish his words, he heard panicked shouts.

"The water is gone! The water is gone!"

"Come and put out the fire!"

In just a short while, the fire light spread rapidly by the night wind, and large and small light spots soon lit up near the fire light, probably because the nearby people were awakened one after another, and there was a loud shout for a while.

"What happened?"

Inside the carriage, Xiao Mu's questioning voice came out.

At the same moment, Heng Yu had lifted the curtain of the car and looked ahead.

Eleven reined in his horse and said, "Go back to General, there's a fire ahead."

Hengyu looked at the place where the fire was spreading, and couldn't help but change his expression: "That's where the houses are, and Mr. Su's family is in that alley!"

The fire is so urgent that people are afraid that it will be dangerous!

"Put out the fire, put out the fire!"

Some common people stumbled out of the alley, not caring whether they would bump into the nobleman, and asked for help in front of the carriage in panic: "...my mother is too old to move inside, please help me get water and save my life." !"

Xiao Mu immediately ordered: "Yin Hai, quickly bring people to put out the fire."

"General." Yin Hai hesitated for a moment: "This fire seems to be a little strange..."

Xiao Mu glanced at the fire, still without hesitation: "It's about human life, so there's no need to say anything."

This is Yingzhou, where he ruled, and there are some things that cannot be weighed.

"Yes!" Yin Hai responded seriously, and looked at Eleven: "You take ten people to stay, and the rest follow me to fight the fire!"

Xiao Mu quickly got out of the carriage, but said to Eleven: "Escort Painter Ji back home first—"

"What about Lord Hou?" Heng Yu asked hastily, maintaining the movement of opening the car curtain.

"I'll go back with Yin Hai." Xiao Mu looked back at her, and added: "Go back and rest first."

Heng Yu's fingers holding the car curtain tightened slightly.

The four eyes met, she finally nodded: "Okay."

Under such circumstances, any reasonable person should say "yes" - she clearly understood his intention.

Under Xiao Mu's signal, the driver immediately drove the carriage.

Hengyu lowered the car curtain slowly, but the sound of the rolling wheels that gradually receded seemed to crush her heart, making her unable to relax at all.

The carriage drove into a wide long street and was suddenly stopped by someone.

Eleven reined in his horse warily and looked at the person coming.

The visitor also tightened his grip on the reins, and asked anxiously, "Is it Xiaohou's carriage?"

Just as Shi Shi asked, "Who are you", Heng Yu in the carriage already said, "Uncle Ping?!"

Cheng Ping heaved a sigh of relief and got off his horse.

Heng Yu also brought Cui Huai out of the carriage.

"Why did Uncle Ping come back so soon?" Heng Yu's footsteps and questioning voice were a little anxious. I don't know if it was because of the situation that Xiao Mu might face at this time behind him, or because of Cheng Ping's rushing back so quickly. mean accident.

"Those people have changed..." Cheng Ping said in a voice that only the two of them could hear.

Hengyu frowned: "Have they left Youzhou?"

Cheng Ping nodded solemnly: "Looking at the traces along the way, nine out of ten are heading for Yingzhou..."

Heng Yu suddenly turned her head and looked at the place where the fire was soaring into the sky.

After staying in Youzhou for a long time, he suddenly left for Yingzhou, probably waiting for the so-called "opportunity"!

"Cui Huai, follow Uncle Ping back home." Heng Yu strode towards the carriage: "Eleventh, let's go back and find him!"

Her voice was firm, and the close follower didn't even think about Xiao Mu's order just now, and nodded immediately.

"What are you going to do, girl?" Cheng Ping asked anxiously, frowning.

"Do what you need to do." Heng Yu didn't look back, she put up her skirt and got into the carriage.

……

Where the fire started, there was the sound of gongs beating basins, and the sound of fetching water, all kinds of sounds mixed together.

Xiao Mu looked at the rising and falling row of roof ridges ahead, and said: "The plan to divert the tiger away from the mountain has been completed, why bother to hide and hide, fearful—"

As soon as he said this, more than a dozen black shadows suddenly landed in front of Xiao Mu and the others like night bats.

"Knowing it's a trick, but still falling into the trap alone, General Xiao really loves the people like a son." The voice of the leader was hoarse, and the cold light of the long knife in his hand was full of killing intent: "General Xiao's benevolence and courage are commendable, but it's a pity that today's death I'm about to die from my hands—"

Recognizing the Jingyin of the other party, Xiao Mu also drew out his long sword: "My life is here, it depends on whether you have the ability to take it."

A ferocious smile flashed in the eyes of the leader, and he charged at Xiao Mu with murderous intent.

The two sides fought each other with swords and swords, and gradually retreated into the dark alley behind them. Bloody aura was scattered everywhere, and some people were injured and fell down.

The noise of people busy fighting the fire not far away covered up the sound of fighting here just right.

"Protect the General!"

Yin Hai arranged for the firefighting and made sure that the Su family was out of danger. When he saw an official came to meet him, he hurried back. After seeing the situation in the alley, he couldn't help cursing: "... Which road is it? There must be nothing wrong with the fire!"

And when he rushed forward, after a few tricks with those men in black, he quickly realized how unusual these people were.

This kind of skill has an unusual origin!
In other words, it is impossible for anyone who can still sneak into Yingzhou City despite layers of defense at this time to be an ordinary person!
Although the general didn't show any signs of depression, he used all his strength to resist the leader, but he knew better than anyone else how his general's health was at this time - it must end as soon as possible!

Yin Hai was uncharacteristically, all his moves were murderous.

But when the two sides were evenly matched, a second group of black shadows appeared. The men in black, who had an advantage in numbers, quickly surrounded Xiao Mu and others, almost blocking them in the alley.

"Guard the general and fight out—" Yin Hai's eyes were cold, and he whispered to the two confidantes beside him.

The two of them nodded, and they wanted to fight their way out as if they were going to die.

But at this moment, a man in black standing in front suddenly convulsed and fell to the ground.

"Xiao Mu!"

A shout came from the alley.

Xiao Mujian killed a man in black, his face was stained with blood, he looked up at the sound.

At the entrance of the alley, illuminated by the flames swirled by the night wind, the figure that went back and forth stood there, holding a sleeve crossbow in his hand, and shot another arrow decisively, catching another person off guard. The man in black fell down.

Two people fell down one after another in a short moment, and there was a gap in the originally impenetrable surroundings, and Xiao Mu immediately wanted to take the opportunity to kill.

"General go first, I'll hold them back!" Yin Hai said.

The two who have been on countless battlefields side by side have a tacit understanding that no one else can match. With the cooperation, Xiao Mu quickly broke out of the dark alley.

"go!"

He held the sword in one hand and held the girl's wrist in the other.

"Hurry up!" The leader of the man in black was entangled by Yin Hai, and ordered in a loud voice.

This is a place where dwellings gather, and narrow alleys and alleys can be seen everywhere. If one is not careful, if he runs into a dead end, it will be a dead end.

But the other party has a lot of people, since they have ambushed for a long time, they will definitely leave enough manpower to guard every key point. Under consideration, Xiao Mu dare not take Hengyu to take risks.

He rarely "dare not", this time is an exception.

The two walked quickly through an alley, and came to a courtyard that seemed very ordinary.

Xiao Mu swung his sword and chopped off the old lock that was fastened from the outside.

Heng Yu didn't ask any more questions, when she saw him cut off the lock, she quickly opened the door, and the two of them walked into the dark courtyard together.

He chose here, there must be his reason!
But at this moment, there was the sound of frighteningly hasty footsteps outside the courtyard, it was obvious that the pursuers had arrived.

　Happy Labor Day!
　　Hard-working people, can I ask for a double monthly pass today?
